The risk of getting back in the ring at the age of 48 is enormous and is something to worry about, but Oscar De la Hoya has the full support of her partner Holly Sonders.
Sonders, a sports media host, has been engaged with the boxing hall of fame in late 2019, and she will be with De la Hoya throughout his preparation against Victor Belfort.
She even revealed that both of them are very disciplined as they refrain themselves from having sex not until after the fight on September 11, the least.
“We are very disciplined. I will say that — very disciplined right now,” she said in an interview with TMZ.
“That’s a thing, and I will say we are very disciplined, more than anybody probably thought we could ever be. No drinking, nothing … I decided weeks and weeks ago I wouldn’t be drinking. I wouldn’t be partying. I’m right there with him.”
Hearing how serious they are, it is to be expected that De la Hoya will return to boxing with something to prove.
It will be his fight bout since he lost to Manny Pacquiao in 2008.
